Positioners

Proportional control and feedback with weatherproof enclosure and NAMUR shaft interface.

Max-Air Technology offers a full range of positioning equipment that is used to control the position of a valve (ball, butterfly, and globe) such that a given process will achieve certain desired flow parameters. An example of this type of positioning control will include the mixing of hot and cold water, such that a specified downstream temperature requirement is achieved. Please see Max-Air 3-Way Tee Assemblies for specific examples. Other parameters which can be controlled are flow rates and pressure, as well as others. Many different types of models are offered, including pneumatic, electro-pneumatic, intrinsically safe, explosion proof, and Smart type positioners.

Recently, we had the opportunity to photograph one of our LockMesh® Coated Actuators after 2 years of service. This unit comes from a prominent salt mining and processing company. They have had great success using our LockMesh® Coated Actuators. With several hundred units installed, they have specified our coated actuators for all future projects. This is a significant cost savings for them when compared to the alternatives of stainless steel actuators or replacing standard aluminum actuators every few months. More info on our LockMesh® Coating: https://www.maxairtech.com/literature/04-FeatureFocus/00-Max-Air_FeatureFocus_LockMesh.PDF Max-Air is proud to offer our advanced coating system, LockMesh®. This hybrid coating system combines the rugged toughness of a stainless steel base coating with the corrosion resistance of PTFE. Corrosive environment applications such as marine areas, caustic wash down, submerged service, and direct chemical exposure require equipment with enhanced corrosion resistance. Frequently the common options are plating, painting, or a change to stainless steel construction. All of these can be effective in some applications; however, they do have limitations and in some cases carry a significant weight and/or cost impact. LockMesh® has been shown to provide a cost effective compromise. It provides the chemical resistance of PTFE along with the durability enhancement of a stainless steel base layer.
